Privacy

The Drone Privacy Guidelines were developed by the department to provide information about how drone users can ensure they operate in accordance with relevant privacy laws. The Guidelines were developed in consultation with states and territories, industry and other stakeholders, to support a shared understanding of how drone operations intersect with relevant privacy provisions. Operators should seek specific legal advice or contact relevant state or territory bodies if they have any concerns or questions about proposed activities.

A final version of the Drone Privacy Guidelines, and the accompanying submission summary document, can be found at the links below:
